Remote Sensing in Latin America: Technology and Markets for the 1980s

Abstract

A review is made on the impact of satellite derived remote sensing data in Latin America. Data availability has generated a phenomenal growth in the user community in Latin America, and new sensor systems planned and proposed are viewed as a further impetus to an increased market in the Americas. The international institutionalization of remote sensing interests in the area is an indicator submitted as a viable force in the continued, future market and transfer of technology. The availability of required training and funding for special projects by these institutions is reviewed. Proposals are made for special training to prepare for increased digital and cartographic applications that will be required in the expanded users market of the 1980s. (Author)
